Now it's official but I think it's too early to make such drastic change for Xiaomi. Xiaomi is not yet established well outside China and India and relatively unknown in other parts of the world. I think this will definitely make people stop importing Xiaomi phones and embrace other brands like OnePlus Huawei Nokia etc. I will definitely.

I am very interested on this topic. How did you relock the bootloader again without getting a hard brick? Which rom did you install via Miflash? The official chinese one? Apparently everyone that relocked it got a brick :S

I'd like to have the control of my BL (linked to my Mi account) so I can open/close it when I see it necessary.
That is why I was interested on this because I have been reading the last days and nobody confirmed that this option (install official CN and lock it, unlock it and reinstall EU) was possible.

For my Mix1, which for all I know never was released in an "International" or "official global" version, I get this not so suttle warning - note the ominous key phrase "next time", as if I have been given a one-time reprieve from the emperor which may well not be repeated.

As I am not running "official global" MIUI, rather Xiaomi.eu MIUI derived from official China MIUI, the warning should not have been triggered by that, rather by the devices' physical location (in the barbarian non-Chinese provinces of northern Europe )

I did a test on my Mi 8 se. I unlocked it with help from someone in China and install xiaomi.eu ROM but I wanted to see what will happen if I reflash stable China and relocked with Mi flash tool. Everything went fine phone booted finished installation and was locked. Then I use Mi flash unlocked tool and unlocked the phone again without waiting a second.
I have Mi Mix 2 which I relocked from fastboot by simple command "fastboot oem lock" running global stable. The phone is not global version.
